Mosques

Irbid, a major city in northern Jordan, serves as a hub for Muslims in the region. While the city itself has a limited number of mapped prayer places within its immediate boundaries, the surrounding areas—particularly Ajloun Governorate—feature a significant concentration of listed mosques. Based on available records, over 20 prayer places are located within a 50 km radius of Irbid, with many situated in the city of Ajloun and its surrounding villages. This network of mosques supports the religious needs of local residents, students, and visitors, offering accessible options for daily prayers and community gatherings.

The majority of listed mosques are found in Ajloun, approximately 22–30 km from Irbid. Notable among them are Great Ajloun Mosque, AynJenna grand mosque, Al Quds Musque, and several others such as Um Yassin mosque, مسجد الإيمان, and مسجد عمر بن الخطاب. These prayer places are spread across Ajloun city and its outskirts, including areas like عبين (Abin) and بير الدالية (Bir al-Daliyah). Additionally, some mosques are located in other nearby towns, such as Kharja (مسجد خليل الرحمن/برشتا) and even across the border in Syria (The Omari Mosque in Daraa and Al-Omari Mosque in Tafas). This distribution indicates a robust prayer-place presence in the broader Irbid region, particularly in the Ajloun Governorate.

For Muslims living in or visiting Irbid, the mapped records show that most listed mosques are concentrated in Ajloun and its surrounding villages, with a few in other nearby areas. While Irbid city itself may have fewer mapped prayer places, the proximity of these mosques—many within a 20–30 km drive—makes them accessible for Friday prayers, daily worship, and community events. The presence of historic and grand mosques, such as Great Ajloun Mosque and Listeb Mosuqe مسجد ليستب الأثري, adds to the spiritual and cultural landscape of the region. These listings are based on available mapped records and provide a practical guide for those seeking prayer places in the Irbid area.

When visiting any of these mosques, it is advisable to check the exact address and distance from your location, as many are in Ajloun Governorate rather than central Irbid. Contact information, such as phone numbers or websites, is not provided in the current listings, so verifying details directly with local sources or community members is recommended. Some mosques may have specific prayer times or facilities; confirm these on-site or through local knowledge.
